Sunan an-Nasa'i — The Etiquette of Judges

It was narrated from Shuraih that:He wrote to 'Umar, to ask him (a question), and 'Umar wrote back to him telling him: "Judge according to what is in the Book of Allah. If it is not (mentioned) in the Book of Allah, then (judge) according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. If it is not (mentioned) in the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah [SAW], then pass judgment according to the way the righteous passed judgment. If it is not (mentioned) in the Book of Allah, or the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah [SAW], and the righteous did not pass judgment concerning it, then if you wish, go ahead (and try to work it out by yourself) or if you wish, leave it. And I think that leaving it is better for you. And peace be upon you

اخبرنا محمد بن بشار، قال حدثنا ابو عامر، قال حدثنا سفيان، عن الشيباني، عن الشعبي، عن شريح، انه كتب الى عمر يساله فكتب اليه ان اقض بما في كتاب الله فان لم يكن في كتاب الله فبسنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فان لم يكن في كتاب الله ولا في سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاقض بما قضى به الصالحون فان لم يكن في كتاب الله ولا في سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم يقض به الصالحون فان شيت فتقدم وان شيت فتاخر ولا ارى التاخر الا خيرا لك والسلام عليكم

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:"There were kings after 'Isa bin Mariam who altered the Tawrah and the Injil, but there were among them believers who read the Tawrah. It was said to their kings: 'We have never heard of any slander worse than that of those (believers) who slander us and recite: "And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the disbelievers." In these Verses, they are criticizing us for our deeds when they recite them.' So he called them together and gave them the choice between being put to death, or giving up reading the Tawrah and Injil, except for what had been altered. They said: 'Why do you want us to change? Leave us alone.' Some of them said: 'Build us a tower and let us go up there, and give us something to lift up our food and drink so we do not have to mix with you.' Others said: 'Let us go and wander throughout the land, and we will drink as the wild animals drink, and if you capture us in your land, you may kill us.' Others said: 'Build houses for us in the wilderness, and we will dig wells and grow vegetables, and we will not mix with you or pass by you, for there is no one of the tribes among whom we do not have close relatives.' So they did that, and Allah revealed the words: 'But the monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance.' Then others said: 'We will worship as so-and-so worshipped, and we will wander as so-and-so wandered, and we will adopt houses (in the wilderness) as so-and-so did.' But they were still following their Shirk with no knowledge of the faith of those whom they claimed to be following. When Allah sent the Prophet [SAW], and they were only a few of them left, a man came down from his cell, and a wanderer came from his travels, and a monk came from his monastery, and they believed in him. And Allah said: 'O you who believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger (Muhammad), He will give you a double portion of His mercy - meaning, two rewards, because of their having believed in 'Isa and in the Tawrah and Injil, and for having believing in Muhammad [SAW]; and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), - meaning, the Qur'an, and their following the Prophet [SAW]; and He said: 'So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allah

اخبرنا الحسين بن حريث، قال انبانا الفضل بن موسى، عن سفيان بن سعيد، عن عطاء بن السايب، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس، قال كانت ملوك بعد عيسى ابن مريم عليه الصلاة والسلام بدلوا التوراة والانجيل وكان فيهم مومنون يقرءون التوراة قيل لملوكهم ما نجد شتما اشد من شتم يشتمونا هولاء انهم يقرءون {ومن لم يحكم بما انزل الله فاوليك هم الكافرون} وهولاء الايات مع ما يعيبونا به في اعمالنا في قراءتهم فادعهم فليقرءوا كما نقرا وليومنوا كما امنا. فدعاهم فجمعهم وعرض عليهم القتل او يتركوا قراءة التوراة والانجيل الا ما بدلوا منها فقالوا ما تريدون الى ذلك دعونا. فقالت طايفة منهم ابنوا لنا اسطوانة ثم ارفعونا اليها ثم اعطونا شييا نرفع به طعامنا وشرابنا فلا نرد عليكم. وقالت طايفة منهم دعونا نسيح في الارض ونهيم ونشرب كما يشرب الوحش فان قدرتم علينا في ارضكم فاقتلونا. وقالت طايفة منهم ابنوا لنا دورا في الفيافي ونحتفر الابار ونحترث البقول فلا نرد عليكم ولا نمر بكم وليس احد من القبايل الا وله حميم فيهم. قال ففعلوا ذلك فانزل الله عز وجل {ورهبانية ابتدعوها ما كتبناها عليهم الا ابتغاء رضوان الله فما رعوها حق رعايتها} والاخرون قالوا نتعبد كما تعبد فلان ونسيح كما ساح فلان ونتخذ دورا كما اتخذ فلان. وهم على شركهم لا علم لهم بايمان الذين اقتدوا به فلما بعث الله النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم يبق منهم الا قليل انحط رجل من صومعته وجاء سايح من سياحته وصاحب الدير من ديره فامنوا به وصدقوه فقال الله تبارك وتعالى {يا ايها الذين امنوا اتقوا الله وامنوا برسوله يوتكم كفلين من رحمته} اجرين بايمانهم بعيسى وبالتوراة والانجيل وبايمانهم بمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وتصديقهم قال {يجعل لكم نورا تمشون به} القران واتباعهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال {ليلا يعلم اهل الكتاب} يتشبهون بكم {ان لا يقدرون على شىء من فضل الله} الاية

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that:The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "You refer your disputes to me, but I am only human, and some of you may be more eloquent in arguing their case than others.

She said to her companion: 'It took away your son.' The other one said: 'No, it took away your son.' They referred the matter to Dawud, peace be upon him, for judgment (about the remaining child) and he ruled in favor of the older one. Then they went out to Sulaiman bin Dawud and told him (about that). He said: 'Give me a knife and I will cut him in half (to be shared) between you.' The younger one said: 'Do not do that, may Allah have mercy on you; he is her son.' So he ruled that (the child) belonged to the younger woman." Abu Hurairah said: "By Allah! I never heard 'Sikkin' used until that day. We would only say: 'Mudyah

Then they passed by Sulaiman and he said: 'What is your story?' So they told him. He said: 'Bring me a knife and I will cut him in half (to be shared) between you.' The younger one said: 'Will you cut him in half?' He said: 'Yes.' She said: 'Do not do that; I will give my share of him to her.' He said: 'He is your child' and he ruled that he belonged to her

It was narrated from Salim that his father said:"The Prophet [SAW] sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to Banu Jadhimah. He called them to Islam, but they could not say Aslamna (we submitted, i.e., became Muslim) so they started to say Saba'na (we changed our religion). Khalid started killing and taking prisoners, and he gave a prisoner to each man. The next day Khalid bin Al-Walid issued orders that each man among us kill his prisoner." Ibn 'Umar said: "I said: 'By Allah, I will not kill my prisoner, and no one (among my companions) will kill his prisoner.' We came to the Prophet [SAW], and he was told of what Khalid had done.

The Ansari said: "Let the water flow." But he (Az-Zubair) refused. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Irrigate (your land), O Zubair! Then let the water flow to your neighbor." The Ansari became angry and said, "O Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your cousin?" The face of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] changed color (because of anger) and he said: "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) then block the water, until it flows back to the walls." So the Messenger of Allah [SAW] allowed Az-Zubair to take his rights in full, although before that he had suggested to Az-Zubair a middle way that benefited both him and the Ansari. But when the Ansari made the Messenger of Allah [SAW] angry, he gave Az-Zubair his rights in full, as stated clearly in his ruling. Az-Zubair said: "I think that this Verse was revealed concerning this matter: 'But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them

He wanted to step back but (the Prophet [SAW]) gestured to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, raised his hands, then he moved backward and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] came forward and led (the rest of) the prayer. When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] finished praying, he said: 'What prevented you from staying where you were?' He said: 'I would not like Allah to see the son of Abu Quhafah standing in front of His Prophet.'
